Philosophy Foaming Purity Made Simple Face Cleanser

Hold the Foam!

I wonder if the rise in coffee shops that serve frothy-topped cappuccinos and lattes is what's causing this sudden boom in cleansing foams. OK, it's a stretch, but Philosophy has just come out with a new version of its best-selling face wash called Purity Made Simple High-Foaming Daily Cleanser ($21.50 - $34.50).

This light and thin (it's almost watery-looking) liquid cleanser comes out of the pump in a surprisingly lush and sudsy consistency. It has a fresh and slightly floral scent and contains tocotrienol, a more powerful version of vitamin E, for soothing purposes. What it doesn't contain anymore is sodium lauryl sulfate — hooray!

My favorite part is that it's strong-acting, but you don't have that awful, tight feeling on your skin after you wash it off. Instead, your face is clean, soothed, and soft. Also, it's suitable for all skin types. I have sensitive skin and it didn't cause any irritations for me. Do you think you'd be into checking out this new self-foaming cleanser?

I'm so glad that this new formula DOESN'T contain sodium lauryl sulfate! I'm currently using this and I gotta say that it is a pretty decent cleanser. I don't know if its worth the price but it does clean my skin nicely and it contains a light smell that I like.

I currently use a foaming cleanser myself - Body Shop Tea Tree foaming cleanser. I like the texture, and the fact that it seems to last longer than the traditional formula. But I've never tried Purity Made Simple in any formulation...

I've always been a big fan of foams. They are so much lighter and I've always had a fear of oily products whichyou know you won't get with foams.I hoe sephora has it cause I want to check theis product out asap!

I'm eagerly awaiting my bottle of regular Purity to run out so I can get this -- my one problem with the original was that I couldn't get it to lather.
It's a great cleanser, ideal for just about all skin types. I alternate it with my LUSH sea vegetable in the morning.
Also, if it makes your skin break out initially, sometimes that's not a "bad" thing. I mean, it is, but a lot of times you're breaking out because bad elements are being brought out by the cleanser. Use the product for a week or two, and if it continues, don't use it, but oftentimes it will clear up and be better than before. That's my experience, anyway...and I used to have skin so bad that dermatologists gave up on me!

I want to try this. I have the regular version, and I use it occasionally, but I like my cleansers to foam.
I"m not crazy about the scent of the regular Purity, I find it rather strong. I also think I'm a tad sensitive to SLS, so the fact that this doesn't contain it is great news.
